Non-ionized (stable) nonmetals, or metal ions.
Atoms of metallic elements tend to lose electrons to form positively charged ions. This is because metallic elements have few electrons in their outer shells, making it easier for them to lose electrons and achieve a stable electron configuration.
Atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose electrons. Atoms with one, two, or three valence electrons will lose electrons.
In most elements, the valence shell holds a maximum of 8 electrons. This is known as the octet rule, where atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a full valence shell of 8 electrons, making them more stable.
Atoms of non-metals generally react with atoms of metals by forming ionic compounds. This is achieved when non-metals gain electrons or a metal atom loses electrons.
When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals tend to lose electrons. This is because metals have few electrons in their outermost shell and losing those electrons allows them to achieve a stable electron configuration.
They tend to gain electrons when reacting with a metal. Metals generally are short of a full octet by 1 to 4 valence electrons. It is easier to drop 2 electrons than try to gain 6 electrons. The elements in group four can go either way, but the other metals will give up electrons, and non-metals will take them.
Atoms that tend to gain electrons are located on the far left side of the periodic table.
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
Choices: a) eject, retain B) lose, gain c) retain,gain d) gain, lose e) lose, retain
No! Atoms with more than 4 electrons gain electrons during bonding. Atoms with less than 4 electrons tend to lose electrons during bonding. Hope this helps!

A completely filled shell of electrons has 8 electrons.
Group 2A elements tend to GAIN electrons!!
Elements on the right of the periodic table but not in group 0/8 tend to gain electrons. Those in group 7 tend to gain 1 electron and those in group 6 tend to gain 2.
The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have a full outer shell of 8 electrons, like the noble gases. Representative elements either gain or lose electrons to achieve this stable electron configuration, becoming ions with a charge that corresponds to the number of electrons gained or lost.
